Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • Cut the chicken breast into strips suitable for eating with fingers.
  • Season each strip with a pinch of salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Whisk eggs in a bowl until smooth to create a sticky dip for coating.
  • In another bowl, mix crushed corn flakes, minced garlic, soy sauce, and honey to make the coating.
  • Dip each chicken strip in the eggs, then roll in the corn flakes mixture ensuring full coverage.
  • Place the coated chicken tenders in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, avoiding crowding.
  • Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  • Remove from air fryer and serve immediately to enjoy hot and crunchy.

Notes

Optional: use cooking spray for air fryer basket or garnish with fresh parsley. Leftovers keep well in fridge up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in air fryer to maintain crispiness.
